These were very good. Next time I would skip sauteeing the onion, since they were a teensy bit too crisp for my taste, and just toss everything together. I also squeezed a touch of lemon juice over the potatoes after they cooked, yum!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was the perfect accompaniment to our baked salmon dish. I believe the brief boiling gives a softer texture to the potatoes after baking them. The lemon gave it a very fresh flavor and I also added some fresh chopped parsley for some added color. Thanks very much for posting.

These are great tasting potatoes and simple to prepare. We loved the flavor that the lemon juice and rind added to this dish. I sprinkled some parsley on top for color. Thank you Chigagopm for sharing another winner.

We enjoyed these with our baked prawns in feta and Greek salad last night. The only change I made was to use olive oil instead of butter-only because I thought olive oil went with the other dishes better. I also used more pepper and salt than recommended but we like them!
